After having seen a good discussion last weekend I got this "Alert" when logging in:
This thread has been in the Off-Topic forum. Where has it been moved to? No reason was given.
Members have shared their views and thoughts in messages that took them time and effort.
This is not the first time, that whole threads were removed after misbehavior of a few and well known members shouting "Nuke the whole thing!" I do not know what was going on in MY thread after weekend. Possibly an action was necessary from a moderator.
I want to address this kind of moderation as not appropriate. If single posts do not meet the forum rules these posts have to be removed - period.
BUT, removing complete threads is not respectful to those members who were not colliding with any forum rules. It is by no means acceptable that those feel punished who met the rules with their writings, while others feel good by having destroyed other peoples thoughts and views.
Moderators might feel being like a god when executing their powers. It might just be that the wrong people get scared away.
Feedback, please!
